Orangutans and Sunbears

After breakfast, we went, as a group to wander to the orangutans....seeing them on their feeding station.
We then went to see the fruit store.
The rule here is we don't interact with the orangutans till after a 2nd covid negative test on day 5.
We went to the sunbears which are really cute..
This afternoon we went to the project office and into the observation tower
We have seen how in the year 2000 this area was completely deforested and in the past 25yrs the Charity here have bought over 1000 hectares of land and reforested it ,as well as building islands and development of the areas for orangutan rescue and rehabilitation.
Excitingly we had a ride standing in the back of a hilux jeep whilst riding round the project.
Then ,we were given machetes and had to chop down ferns for the orangutans nests
A good day ..the group is nice and the food is ok.The lady in charge of the project is English from Clitheroe, so there's definitely some English touches ,like Magnum and Cornetto....amazing!Læs mere
